Hey folks What do you think this one would grade? Thanks!     You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

It has the appearance of an uncirculated coin, but there is a dullness on the eagle and Miss Liberty's hair that hints at minor circulation. I'll go with AU-58 slider.

I didn't see the second reverse picture before which appears to show more detail of the right wing and less wear on the leg. I bump my grade to AU-55

AU55+ works for me. Nice example.

No major hits on the nose, cheek or neck...Eagle looks pretty good too with no major hits.
Splotchy toning hurts eye appeal (imho).
Rays on the reverse look good and strong but the feathers (esp) the legs look weak.
58 slider for me too.

reassessing this one. I think the surface preservation is better than I originally thought and the luster better than my initial grade of AU50.

Nice original looking AU-55.

I'm with Coinfrog on this one -- AU53/55 seems right. The reverse is gorgeous, but the obverse lacks eye appeal.
There aren't many abrasions anywhere. But the wear, while slight, is easy enough to see, and the surface quality of the obverse will also bring the grade down a tad.

I'd be at slider 58 for this one. Looks like it has a lot of luster and while flatly struck not much noticeable rub.
